The U.S. Postal Service recently debuted its much-anticipated electric vehicles in Athens, Georgia.
The new vehicles will replace 30-year-old mail trucks that have a reputation for being noisy, smelly, and gas-guzzling, getting just 9 mpg. The updated trucks are quieter, more spacious, loaded with modern safety features, and, perhaps most importantly for drivers, equipped with air conditioning.
The EVs are just in Georgia for now, but keep an eye out for them in Illinois soon: They’ll be rolled out across the country within the next few years, and they’re definitely hard to miss. Learn more. (Associated Press)
